http://www.howtoinvestyourmoney.net Say your opinions and tips, I really need good advices how to make it grow.
The yellow is a bit too bright for the 3D table image you have there, not sure but that area hurts my eyes. I'd suggest using a less saturated yellow or a different color there.
I think the yellow is now a bit too close to a disgusting yellow . I like the green though. The first thing that stood out was the collection of poker links and stat counters in the sidebar. You need people to trust you if you're giving investment advice, and all that crap makes me leave right away. One discreet statcounter link is ok, but just keep it low-key.
You probably got the design from a template. The header image is too big (too high) when the visitor opens the page you have about 5 seconds to draw his attention and keep him on your site. The first thing that draws my attention is the big yellow band. When I open the page I find it hard to focus on the text.
i think the overall look of the site is good and professional. However I feel you are let down with some of your image choices - especially one from istockphoto which you have not bought! I think it'd be better to remove it rather than leave it up with a big watermark through it. i also agree that the header maybe a little big. the best thing to do is open the site with firefox with the web developer addon. you can then use this to resize the screen to 800x600 and 1024x768 (these are the most common screen sizes) to see what it'll look like on other peoples machines. Hope this helps. Good luck! Josh
